Late in the first half.

42-20 West Virginia.

648 yds of offense.

WV scored on a 99 yd fumble return not included in the above yards.

Clemson will probably still score this half.

Taking Aim at the Alamo Bowl.

I've seen Six Man games with more defense.

 
Fumble by Clemson with 1 minute left in the half was called wrong by the replay officials.

The call on the field was that he was down by contact, it's not reviewable. Now if they had called it a fumble it would've been fine, huge mistake by the refs and the replay officials.

The "down by contact" language has crept into the college game but I'm pretty sure it's only an NFL rule. In college you are just down - no contact needed.

Even at that, I believe the NFL changed that replay rule a few years ago. Even "down by contact" is now reviewable in the NFL (I think).

 
And they broke the record for combined points scored with over nine minutes left ... in the 3rd quarter.

 
Not really sure what happened to Clemson. It's not exactly shocking that WV can put up points - especially when Clemson helps with 3 TOs - but Clemson can't do anything anymore.

 
How often do you see BCS bowls in which both teams sub in backups mid-way through the third quarter?

 
63-20? (Sorry Killer Cactus)

Already too similar to our 62-24 over Florida..
